Well, I am very surprised!
If I am really wildly wrong on my analogy, then why hasn't anyone pointed 
this out. Also, I find it very hard to believe that noone has ever worked 
out the resultant of time delay on both Newtonian and Relativistic 
theories of gravity and orbital mechanics. After all Newton most 
definitely thought of gravity being transmitted instaneously.
